Alex Ruiz (22) is a waiter at a Mexican restaurant in Georgia. During a recent shift, a man came in and ordered lunch. But there was something very different about this order. The man who placed it did not have any hands. And after overhearing the man ask for a bit of help, Alex knew just what he needed to do.

“I saw a man who needed help,” the kind-hearted waiter explained. “It makes me very happy to help people.”

Alex asked his fellow servers to keep an eye on his tables and then took a seat in the booth across from the man with no hands. There, he chatted with the man, while patiently cutting up his food and feeding it to him bite by bite. He stayed with the man for over thirty minutes, until he was done eating. Alex then brought the bill, refusing to accept a tip from his appreciative new friend.

The beautiful act of compassion caught the attention of everyone in the restaurant, including fellow diner, Reginald Widener, who took out his phone and snapped a the photo of the touching scene.

“This seriously hit me right in the soul,” Reginald wrote in his post.
